I would say "at the site," or "at the time of testing on site."

It's correct, but in my opinion "It has been said" is a bit too indirect for the "western" mentality.

"It has been reported" is probably closer to what we'd say, and it's still indirect enough to avoid pointing the finger directly at anyone.
